Question

A letter L with a height of 9 inches is drawn on the actual flag. What should be the height and inches of a letter L in the scale drawing? Explain plzzz....

Answer 1

Answer:

0.5 inch on the drawing

Step-by-step explanation:

The following information is missing:

The scale factor of the drawing to the actual flag is represented by the ratio 1:18.

This scale factor means that 1 inch on the drawing are equivalent to 18 inches o n the actual flag. We want to know the height on the drawing, given that a height of 9 inches is drawn on the actual flag. The following proportion must be satisfied:

1 inch on the drawing / x inch on the drawing = 18 inches o n the actual flag / 9 inches o n the actual flag

x = 9/18 = 0.5 inch on the drawing
